Abstract

In this paper we briefly describe the Feedback-Guided Dynamic Loop Scheduling (FGDLS) algorithm that was proposed in Bull et al. [2] and Bull [1]. The FGDLS algorithm uses a feedback mechanism, based on measured execution times, to schedule a parallel loop within a sequential outer loop. We compare the FGDLS algorithm with other scheduling algorithms for a simple model problem -- the parallel computation of the inverse of a triangular matrix.
